ORION. L. M. J. ZUNDEL. 1. The heavens declare thy glory, Lord! In every star thy wisdom shines; But when our eyes behold thy word, We read thy name in fairer lines; 2. The rolling sun, the changing light, And nights and days thy power confess; But the blest volume thou hast writ Reveals thy justice and thy grace. 78. L. M. 3. Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand; So when Thy truth began its race It touched and glanced on every land. 4. Nor shall Thy spreading Gospel rest Till through the world Thy truth has run; Till Christ has all the nations bless'd That see the light, or feel the sun. 5. Great Sun of Righteousness, arise; Bless the dark world with heavenly light; Thy Gospel makes the simple wise, Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right. 6. Thy noblest wonders here we view In souls renewed, and sins forgiven; Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, And make Thy word my guide to heaven. 1. THE starry firmament on high, 4. But fixed for everlasting years, Unmoved amid the wreck of spheres, PILESGROVE. L. M. 3 4 N. MITCHELL. (8): 1. Great Source of being, and of love! Thou wa-terest all the worlds a-bove; 9:3 (16) And all the joys we mor-tals know, From thine exhaust less fountain flow. 81. L. M. 2. A sacred spring, at Thy command, 3. The limpid stream, with sudden force, 4. Close by its banks, in order fair, 5. Flow, wondrous stream, with glory crowned, DODDRIDGE. 82. L. M. Peculiar. * 1. SINCE first Thy word awaked my heart 2. Naught else I feel, or hear, or see, 3. Like him whose fetters dropped away 6. Mankind shall be one brotherhood; • Sung to Pilesgrove by slurring all the notes in measures (8) and (16). Wher-e'er we turn, thy glories shine, And all things fair and bright are thine. 84. L. M. 6 lines. 2. When day, with farewell beam, delays Among the opening clouds of even, And we can almost think we gaze, Through opening vistas, into heavenThose hues that mark the sun's decline, So soft, so radiant, Lord, are Thine. 3. When night, with wings of starry gloom, O'ershadows all the earth and skies, Like some dark, beauteous bird, whose plume Is sparkling with unnumbered eyes- 4. When youthful Spring around us breathes, 85. L. M. 6 lines. MOORE. 1. THE Lord my pasture shall prepare, Or on the thirsty mountains pant, STORRS. 7s. J. ZUNDEL. 1. Source of being, source of light, With unfading beauties bright; Thee, when morning greets the skies, Blushing sweet with humid eyes; Thee, when soft, de clin-ing day Sinks in 9: purple waves away; Thee, O pa-rent, will I sing, To thy feet my tribute bring. 89. 78. Double. 1. SOURCE of being, source of light, Yonder blue, low, liquid sky; 3. Source of light, Thou bid'st the sun |
